sorry Bryanna I was experiencing some internet problems and couldn't follow up immediately.
I could figure out any particular correlation to the pain. Sometimes it is like nerve, sometimes it is like gum.... I started wearing night guard recently.
I recently have a lot of pains here and there from the teeth all over my month.
I still feel some pain from time to time from the extraction site (#14) after a month. Is that normal?
Thanks alot,
Grace

The fillings do not appear to be deep in either tooth. A bit larger in #18 than #19. On these xrays tooth #18 has a very large pulpal chamber. This is the area in the middle of the tooth below the filling where the top of the roots come together. This could be normal or it could indicate an inflamed pulp which would feel like nerve pain.
You said you grind your teeth at night. Do you wear a night guard?
Is the pain worse in the am or does it get worse as the day goes on? Is there anything that makes it feel better... like hot or cold temperatures.. pressure... medication???
Did your dentist do a cold test on this tooth? Did he have you bite down on a bite stick to check for fractures?
